About

Behind a closed door and opaque curtains, you enter the dreamlike universe of jjacques, a space disconnected from time where the bar and kitchen unite to offer a unique experience. For one evening, let yourself be carried away by the energy that pervades it, enveloped by colors, textures, and materials, and savor the present moment. Come and enjoy an intimate and sensory pleasure-filled moment.

Is jjacques a restaurant, an oyster bar, or a cocktail bar? It's up to you to decide.

The cuisine is centered around sharing, focused on seafood and comprised of small dishes, but not neglecting fine cuts of meat and seasonal products. To fully experience it, take the time to savor one of our enticing seafood towers.

The cocktail menu, themed around travel, offers you around twenty original cocktails, both with and without alcohol, as well as many elegantly executed classics. The wine cellar hosts both classic fine wines and little treasures in nature. The bar shelves are home to the finest available spirits.

Named in Canada's 100 Best as one of the top 50 bars in the country since 2022 and holding the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, jjacques promises you an extraordinary evening. Reservations are highly recommended.

Un mois plus tard, j'y pense encore...un service hors du commun. Des serveurs attentionnés qui connaissent les produits. Tant les cocktails (divins) que la nourriture. Tout se passe en douceur au rythme du client. Merci à vous tous.

Sans doute l'une des meilleures découvertes de restaurant à Québec. Nous étions un groupe de 5 & nous avons commandé une bonne partie du menu afin de partager le maximum d'assiettes. Tout était adapté pour 5 portions, ce que nous avons grandement apprécié. D'abord les cocktails, beaucoup de bons choix & dans tous les cas, ils étaient extraordinaires. En fait, j'espère y retourner pour continuer à goûter leurs spécialités. Notre serveur était très attentif & nous donnait plein de détails & conseils pour nos choix. Pas facile de dire ce que j'ai aimé le plus dans leur menu, car tout ce que nous avons goûté était vraiment délicieux & présenté de façon impeccable. Je n'avais jamais goûté de tataki d'espadon & j'ai trouvé la texture & la saveur très surprenantes, vraiment bonnes. La burrata avec le pesto basilic & pistache, accompagnée de focaccia, était très bonne & l'huile de chili accompagnait parfaitement l'assiette de poisson frit entier, cuit à la perfection. Nous avons fini avec le dessert de cannoli au mascarpone & poire au cognac, quelle délice ! L'ambiance au resto est très agréable, dans notre cas c'était vraiment intime. Quand on rentre, on a l'impression que c'est trop sombre, mais après quelques minutes, on s'habitue & c'est très agréable. Petite anecdote drôle, la playlist aux toilettes est bien choisie ;) ça nous a vraiment fait rire.

Oh my goodness, I can't say enough about this place. To get in, you'll have to make sure you make reservations & keep your eyes peeled because it's on a backstreet & the entrance is fairly hidden. It's worth all the effort though! The cocktails are out of this world, the food is innovative & delicious, & the service is perfect We'll be coming back here every time we come to Quebec

Concept original, entrée détournée dans la rue pour découvrir une salle de restauration intime, du type speakeasy. Personnel très accueillants & professionnel. Pour un apéritif à base de cocktail, huîtres... la place était parfaite. Nous y retournerons pour découvrir les plats cette fois-ci!

I have visited jjaques twice now & will continue to come back anytime I'm in QC! The staff are incredibly talented, hospitable, & friendly. The food is delicious, & the cocktails are works of art! The head bartender Fran is fantastic & made the whole experience even better! Last time I was there I had the best espresso martini of my life & he remade it for me even though it's no longer on the menu! 10/10 all around!
